SAINT LOUIS-MARIE AND SAINT JOSEPH

This year, the Holy Father's Year of Saint Joseph, the Octave of the erstwhile Solemnity of Saint Joseph coincides with the Feast of Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, the great 18th Century apostle of the Virgin Mary. All Catholics, and certainly all Members of the Order who take their faith seriously, should seriously consider the Consecration to Jesus through Mary promoted by Saint Louis-Marie. Saint and popes, most notably Saint John-Paul II, have recommended this salutary and necessary antidote to the evils of our age.

SAINT LOUIS-MARIE DE MONTFORT'S PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH

HAIL JOSEPH the Just, Wisdom is with you, blessed art thou among men, and blessed is Jesus, the fruit of Mary, thy faithful spouse. Holy Joseph, worthy foster-father of Our Lord, pray for us sinners and obtain Divine Wisdom for us from God, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Totus tuus ego sum, O Maria.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Saint Louis-Marie, pray for us.
